2.1.8.5 Super-fast recharge? Charge indicators?
[Q] My battery seems to recharge in about fifteen minutes. That's not with the machine running, and not from absolutely zero (as in "left on over the weekend"), but it is from 0 marks to 5 on the battery check icon. Which brings up some questions: Is my battery recharging too fast? Are NiMH cells damaged by rapid recharging? How much do those battery check marks mean, anyway? Mine seems to go "5554444444444444442222222222222111000". I don't think I've ever seen three marks displayed. I assume they represent a voltage measurement. Is there a way to get higher resolution indications, or technical data on the existing one? How much computing should I expect after I see zero marks?
